Anyone who knows Gracie personally would never "attack" Gracie at any level. Now, that being said, it doesn't mean you can't disagree with her respectfully, and she would enjoy respectfully discussing any subject with you. Like so many of us, she reached out to my wife and I when we first joined TOTV, and made us feel welcome. Although I am no longer very active on TOTV, my family has become friendly on a personal level with her and her wonderful family, visiting each other's home, and my wife golfing or dining with her weekly. Anyone who would try to disparage her doesn't deserve my attention, or anyone else's. She doesn't need me to defend her, she has enough people in TV that love her, and know what a beautiful lady she is.
